Abstract:
:It is important that a cardiologist knows and recognizes the entity of takotsubo cardiomyopathy or apical ballooning, but remains aware that a subsequent similar episode is not necessarily a recurrence of this syndrome. Relapse may be caused by "classical" coronary atherosclerosis, as described in this case report.

信件abstract:BACKGROUND:Assessment of right ventricular (RV) systolic function remains difficult because of the RV's complex shape. We aimed to evaluate RV systolic function with strain analysis in patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE).
